2015 Community Events

The Williams Lake Project honors the legacy of the former Williams Lake Hotel as a special place that created lasting memories for residents of Ulster County. We continue this legacy as an active member of the vibrant community of Rosendale, and we are proud of our many local partnerships.

Since 2007, we have hosted dozens of public recreational events, races, educational and research programs, while raising over $50,000 for local charities. For more information on holding an event at Williams Lake, please contact Alanna Medlock, Communications Coordinator, at alannawlp@gmail.com.

Event schedule is subject to change. Events are open to the public unless noted otherwise. Visit host organization websites for details.
